Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0964189A2] A soft gasket material having two opposed facial surfaces and an edge that is substantially perpendicular to those surfaces has a coating on the edge. The coating has a thickness length B which is a distance extending directly from the edge at its center point to the coat's outer surface. The coating further covers the edge from side to side and extends past at least one corner of the edge in a protruding length A which is an amount that is effective to form a barrier against the passage of fluids onto the face of the gasket. In coatings where the protruding length A is not supported by the gasket face, the ratio of protruding length A : thickness length B must be at least about 0.8, protruding length A must be a minimum of at least about 0.1 mm (4 mils), and thickness length B must be a minimum of at least about 0.08 mm (3 mils). In coatings where the protruding length A is supported by the gasket face (a distance C), the ratio of protruding length A : thickness length B can be at least about 0.6, protruding length A can be a minimum of at least about 0.08 mm (3 mils), and thickness length B can be a minimum of at least about 0.06 mm (2 mils). <IMAGE>
